The first
time I've heard "Eyes Don't Lie" was almost one year ago from r&b girl-trio
"Truce" (see also News July
2000). I remember I was very dissapointed at the time because of it's quite boring
vocals and production. But gladly Five Star made me change my mind. And this is just why I
am such a big fan of them, they refreshed and restyled the song in a way you just want to
smile and sing along with it immideately. It's good stuff and Denise voice is, esp. in the
Bridge-part, (again) outstanding! Still, you have to admit that it doesn't sound very modern and even (nothing
wrong with that though) very "Amy Grant-ish". If everything goes like Buster planned than this will definately be a single
release in the future. Personally I don't think it's wise to release it as the way it is.
A modern remix (not another r&b/hip-hop "rap" remix please) will do fine I
guess (see "Wishing on a (5)
Star"). Or, after seeing them singing this song live on "Eclusive TV",
releasing it as an unplugged/live version. This good-feeling track has hit-potential, but
you just have to use it right.
